Brand: Origin Live
The Origin Live Illustrious is a high-end tonearm designed for vinyl record playback. It features a unique 3-point axis system that provides exceptional tracking ability and low-level detail retrieval. The arm is precision-engineered with high-grade materials, including a singled-base aluminum structure, a high-carbon steel and stainless steel armtube assembly, and a high-purity copper wiring system. The arm's conical damper and short-hydraulic-damping mechanism ensure a high degree of low-frequency energy storage, leading to a more natural, lifelike sound. The Illustrious also features a custom-designed turntable-mounting bracket that addresses the issue of bearing-related microphony.
